Yesterday was a sad day for Americans. When the US Capital building is invaded by protesters, every citizen in our country should be sad.
There is one thing every Christian should do today. Pray and ask God for the healing of America.
Pray for President Trump and President-elect Biden. Both of these men need our prayers. They need wisdom and guidance. Pray that they seek answers from God.
Pray that there be peace in America.
“Seven days without prayer makes one weak“
A sign on a church that is so true. Start everyday with prayer and Bible reading to have a strong Christian faith.
1 Thessalonians 5:17
Pray without ceasing.
Christmas is over, time to take down the beautiful decorations and keeping in our hearts the memories of Christmas 2020. It always makes me sad to put away those wonderful things that make Christmas special every year. As we put away the lights, tree, nativity sets, let us NOT put away the truth of Christmas, Jesus was born into this world to be our Savior, and it is our responsibility to tell others. So let us make a resolution to be better witnesses in 2021, and Serve Our Savior with more zeal than we ever had before.
Witnessing is a little more difficult because of social distancing and lack of events and physical gatherings, but we can make phone calls, write notes and use social media to be a witness for the Lord. Be creative. Think of someone today who needs the Lord and pray for him or her, and then contact them. People need the Lord now more than ever.
Acts 26:22-23 Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying none other things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come. That Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should shew light unto the people, and to the Gentiles.:
If you think about it, it’s a bit strange for someone to put goodies in an old sock. But like many Christmas traditions, the tradition of Christmas stockings comes from an old legend.
A long time ago (so the story goes), a poor man had three daughters and couldn’t afford to give them a dowry (money or goods given to the groom’s family by the bride’s family). In those days, it was very hard for a woman to get married without a dowry. A Christian bishop named Nicholas heard about the problem and wanted to help, but the man refused to accept money. One night, Nicholas threw three balls made of pure gold in through the open window of the man’s house. Each one landed in a stocking hung by the fire to dry. The next morning, each daughter found a gold ball in her stocking. With this bounty, they were all able to get married.
Stockings can remind us of the importance of service. The greatest example of service is Jesus Christ. He always “went about doing good” (Acts 10:38).
Take some time to think about the Savior’s selfless acts of service. How can you give Christlike service and show kindness to others?
Galatians 6:10 As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.
The wreath has significant meaning for the season. It’s circular shape represents eternity, for it has no beginning and no end. For a Christian, it represents an unending circle of life. The evergreen, most frequently used in making wreathes, symbolizes growth and everlasting life.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
The most wonderful month of the year! December brings a time of joy, even for the people who do not know the true meaning of Christmas.
2020 has been a difficult year for everyone, but Christmas is a wonderful blessing as we think about the birth of our Savior, Jesus.
No matter what the circumstances, we have joy in our hearts because Jesus gives peace and comfort.
This month we are going to look at the symbols of Christmas and their meaning, then on to the Christmas story.
Wishing everyone a joyful December.
Psalms 118:24 – This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.
The day after Thanksgiving is called Black Friday in the USA. People go out and shop for all the “bargains” they can find.
The stores and online merchants put things on sale, hoping that customers will buy, especially for the holidays.
In all the frenzy of buying for the perfect gift, we should remember that we have already been given the Perfect Gift. God sent Jesus, His only Son, to be born into this world, grow into manhood, die on the cross and rise from the dead.
This gift lasts for all eternity. If you have not received this Gift. Today, is the day to receive Jesus as your Savior.
John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
Superstitious? The Bible tells us to have faith in God..not fear of myths and superstition.
If you are burdened by false superstition ask Jesus to take it away and trust fully in Him.
